¦ "NO POPERY . " Cardinal Wiseman has succeeded in creating great excitement , not only in what is callod par excellence the " religious world , " but in circles where ecclesiastical questions are seldom mooted . The document in which the Pope formally divides England into Eoman Catholic Bishoprics , and states the reason for that step , must unequivocally point to the reconquering of this country ^ as a recusant portion of the Papal Church , and treats the present State Establishment , and its recognised Head ,. Queen Victoria , with silent contempt . The existence of the schismatical Anglican Church iB not even hinted at ; henceforth there is to be but one church known in these realms
—that of Rome—and the new Cardinal Archbishop is to be our yisible resident superior . The authorship of that document is ascribed to Doctor Wiseman , and it harmonises with the aggressive policy well known to be entertained and avowed b y this ambitious priest . No one who heard the powerful and eloquent , but boastful aermon , in which he took leave of the congregation in the Church of St . George ' s in the Fields , previous to setting off to Borne , for the purpose of receiving the Cardinal ' s hat , could doubt , for an instant , that the strongest and most cherished idea of his mind is to bring le of Great Britain
the peop once more within the fold of the Romanist Church . If the design fails , it will be from no want of will or lack of exertion on his part . Like all men , however , possessed by one idea , he is apt to over-estimate and overrate appearances in his favour . Looking at the improved position of the Roman Catholic portion of the community as compared with what it was at the commencement of the century , Dr . Wiseman sees initthe herald of restoration to its ancient supremacy . He sees also the Clergy oftlio English Church torn and distracted with intestine feuds about controverted doctrines , aMbe infers , therefore ,

that the church itself is weak . He knows that a considerable number of her Ministers have been for years keeping up a coquettish dallian ce with his own church , which , has ended in some of them formally joining it ; and he supposes that , therefore , the people are prepared to follow the parsons . Never was any man more mistaken .. The very fact of our tolerating all religious opinions and sects in the way we do , is of itself the best proof that , as a nation , we will never again submit to the spiritual domination of any body of men , call themselves what they may , or come armed with what credentials they please . One great cause of this delusion in the mind of Dr . Wiseman and that of his fellow i i ii i ii i ill i
conspirators , against the civil and religious liberties of England , is to be found in the existence of what is called Puseyism . For years it has been well known , that Oxford has educated , and English Bishops have ordained to the office of priests , a body of young men far more attached to the slavish and despotic doctrines of Papacy than ^ the free , self-governing , and self-reliant principles of Protestantism . The contest , which has for so many years been waged in town and country parishes , as to whether certain prayers should bo said with the face to the west or to
the east ; whether the vestments worn should be , at certain times , of a specific colour ; whether the place where the sacrament was administered should be a woodeu " communion table , " or a stone altar ; whether candles were to be placed on the altar or not , and if so , whether they were to be lighted during the day at certain portions of the service ? Al ! these questions , trivial and childish as they appear in themselves , had a grave meaning and incidence , understood thoroughly by
those who were actually engaged in the contest . They were the outward and visible signs of an approximation to Popery , and those who stood up for their introduction believed , that if by chicanery or coaxing , or " sharp practice , " they could once get the people to don the livery and the trappings of Romanism , it would not be difficult afterwards to super-induce the dominion of Rome itself .
Instead of resisting this movement , many of the bishops of the Estab lished Church took an active part in it . Others were conveniently mysterious and vague in their condemnation , and suspiciously tolerant in their conduct . Restoration to the relig ious condition of the middle ages , when religious belief , and religious action , was regulated by authority ; where the trouble of thinking for oneself was saved , and conscience , thought , ' and action , were placed under the dictation * and the direction of " spiritual superiors , " was , according to this party , the one thing needful for the present and all coming generations . No wonder that Dr . Wiseman , noting
these things , should have indulged in a dream of re-annexing England to Rome , and of bringing about in the nineteenth century , which had failed so repeatedly when tried in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuriesnamely , the re-establishment of Popery in this country . His ecclesiastical education and habits , the almost idolatrousreverence to him by those with whom he daily comes in contact , and the immense power exercised in all cases , by the Roman Catholic priest over the mind of his flock , were all calculated to make him seriously mistake ,, and over estimate the influence which the Puseyite parsons had upon those to whom they ministered in things spiritual . The doctrines of slavish mental
subjection , which find apt and ready . recipients , aided by the confessional , and a state of mind which rejoices in ignorance of anything beyond priestly dictu on theso subjects as in itself a merit ; were not , and are not , likely to find many discip les in the vigorous open air atmosphere of English society , whatever ohance they may have had if the insidious Puseyite conspiracy had been longer carried under colourable pretexts , they have not the slightest , now that all disguise is thrown away , and the direct and avowed object is the spiritual , and , consequently , political subjugation and slavery of the people .
One of the immediate consequences has been to make some of the established bishops and clergy , who have heretofore been suspected of favouring Puseyism , to array themselves in unequivocal hostility to the new aggressive movement . The bishop , whose flirtation with it is well known , has , in reply to an address from the clergy of the metropolitan dioceae , spoken put upon the subject . He roundly denounces the impudent creation of bishops by the Pope with territorial dominions , in a country where he has not the
Blighteat claim to authority , as an act that must be promptl y resisted by the duly-COUStituted powers in this realm ; and not only urges upon his clergy the duty of marked and scrupulous reverence in all things from the Roman ritual , but the immediate commencement of a system of controversial preaching , against the doctrines and practices of that Church . A similar spirit has been manifested in other quarters by the clergy , and before a few days have elapsed there can be little doubt it will have spread over the whole country . The Daily Newspapers have kept the question
constantly before the public , in its political and social aspects , and a ferment is perceptible on these points in quarters where little attention iB usually given to the sayings and doings of either priests , parsons , or preachers . The probabilities , therefore , are , that we are about to enter upon a period of religious controversy , excitement , and turmoil , of which few persons now living have bad '" . any experience , and which , though not doubtful as to its ultimate issue , must exercise an immediately injurious result upon the tangible and substantial progress of the nation .
For first let us p icture to ourselves what controversial preaching is , and its effects upon those who hear it . Political opponents sometimes forget themselves , and apply terms to each other the reverse of gentlemanly , or polite ; but in their angriest moods , in their moments of utter self-forgetfulness , they never did approach the perfect and super-refined Billingsgate of sectarian warfare , and controversy . Every one can conceive the effect of such language , addressed to persons rendered already nervously-susceptible of excitement , by their religious and sectarian prejudices . The ignition of Buch a train must cause an explosion of rancour and persecution to which wehavono parallel in tho recent history of this country .
Then , again , there is the not unfounded or unnatural hostility of political , social , and educational reformers , who have no sympathy whatever with purely sectarian squabbles , and who do not care which sect has possession of the loaves and fishes , as far as peculiar theological dogmas are concerned . They , however , perceive , that with a few exceptions , wherever Romanism is uppermost , there thepolitical and mental prostration of the whole people is greatest . France and Belgium are both of them exceptional cases , and the causes of their political activity , and comparative mental freedom , are not difficult to find . But
whereever the Jesuits have , since the revolutionary outbreak of 1848 , re-established their sway we find that every vestige of libert y has dis ' appeared . Rome , Naples , all the countries indeed cursed by the rule of the Pontiet , are delivered over to utter darkness and systematic oppression , which it makes the blood boil to think of . Tho policy of Rome is as despotic , as adverse to mutual , political , and personal liberty to-day , as it was three hundred years ago . With all the fair speeches and glowing professions of its advocates , it ia at heart the same thing which our ancestors have so often gallantly fought against , and which ; in 1688 , caused them . to drive James Siuari from Wa

throne , " and frame an exclusively Protestant Constitution / , ; During the last twenty or thirty years , the true principles " of Catholicism have been gradually making way in this country—not the Catholicism which puts ?' Roman" before it , and would be universal by subduing everything to Rome , but a Catholicism which recognises the universal , inherent rights of all men to w orship God in . the manner most agreeable . ' "to . their ; own consciences ; to be educated in the best possible manner , to fulfil the duties of citizens , and to extend political ' iliiViiVMinl ' iiiniiii an exclusively Protestant
and municipal franchises to the great body of the people , as the only sound * safe , and permanent ¦ foundation of good Government , The . Catholicism of England has been truly universal , because it recognised and found a place for the separate truths embodied in every phrase of the progressive movement ; and had the rulers of the Romish church been content with equality , instead of struggling for supremacy , it could not have failed to confer ample , substantial , and valuable benefits upon our
country . The period of sectional , sectarian , and irritating warfare , on which we are now likely to enter will , we fear , retard our onward career . The lessons of a wise and enlightened tolerance , which have been so recently learned , will be in great danger of being forgotten ; and the fear of being thrust under the domination of an irresponsible and " infallible" priesthood , may drive the people of England once more back upon measures of repression towards a religious body , to which it will be very easy to give the name of
persecution . ' For this , however , Dr . Wiseman , and his Puseyite allies have themselves to blame . They have thrown down the gauntlet , and provoked the contest , of the ultimate result of which we have neither fear nor doubt . England and Englishmen are Constitutionally Protestants . There is something in our skies and atmosphere , in the maternal structure of our island , no less than in the physical and mental organisation of our . people , which leads ,
inevitably , to Protestantism . ' A people with such necessities and such capabilities , having such a variety of occupation and such ceaseless activity of m ind and body , possessing the means of diffusing knowledge to such an extent , and valuing the privilege so highly , can never ; be reduced to mental or political bondage . The campaign of Cardinal Wiseman will end as fatally and dearly for Bome as that of Moscow did for Napoleon . Knowledge and Liberty are certain to triumph .

POPULAR EDUCATION . A hopeful symptom of sound and steady progress has exhibited itself this week . The Lancashire Public School Association , encouraged by the numerous adhesions to its plan of Secular Education , supported by local rates , and placed under local management , has held a Conference in Manchester , and converted the Association into a National one . The step
betokens an immense and a real advance towards the object in view . Hitherto the efforts of Educational Reformers have been isolated , intermittent , and incoherent . There has been no unity of design , no concentration of power , no uniform and systematic plan of action , while the opponents of the only principle on which education can become truly national , have acted as organised bodies , and therefore exerted an amount of influence on the
Government and the Legislature , totally out of proportien to their real strength and numbers . The far greater forces at the command of the Educational party have failed to impress upon our rulers the conviction that the time had come when they must legislate on this subject in earnest , and in conformity with the opinion of a body of men having powerful electoral influence . That is the short and simple way to a Prime Minister ' s understanding in this country . The most perfect chain of reasoning , the best sustained argument , the most clearly demonstrated public want , or public grievance , have no more impression upon him than water upon a duck's back , unless he can at the same time he brought to comprehend that a few seats in Parliament are at the command of the
party who ask for legislation with reference to these wants or grievances . This desideratum will , it is likely , MOW be supplied in the important question of education . The appearance of Mr . CoBDENat the Conference , and the active part he took in its proceedings , would lead to the conclusion , that the new association will continue to have his co-operation and advice , perhaps , in an official capacity . If so , there can be no question but that he will bring to its aid a
considerable accession of wealth and members , and , what is still more valuable , that lie will strengthen it by his experience in the organisation and direction of such bodies . Public education is a question in which the peculiar mental characteristics of the member for the West Riding can be most successfully brought into play . It is very doubtful whether his course of reading and . his habits , are such as to lead him to take any very strong interest in purely political topics His coolness towards the Middle Class Parliamentary
Reform Movement is not to be denied , even by those who would fain claim him as a co-labourer . But we have known him for the last fifteen years to take a deep interest in Educational Reform , and it would appear from his speech on Wednesday that that interest continues unabated . If he would take the presidency of the new association , and concentrate all his available time and faculties upon its business , he would do more for it , and for his own public refutation , than anything he has attempted since the triumph of the Anti-Corn Law League . The right education of the
ignorant masses , whose deplorable mental destitution he so graphicall y depicted on Wednesday , is an object of far more higherimportance than tho saving of a few hundred thousands , or even millions , a year in our annual taxation . In the neglected faculties , the wasted or misapplied energies of the millions , who in this country are either altogether unsupplied , or only partially supplied , with the merest rudiments of education , a wise government would find a source of Avealth richer by far than a dozen Californias rolled together . It is only needful to compare for a moment the monetary value of a highly intelligent , skilful , self-controlled
human being , with an ignorant , untrained , idle , depraved , passionate , reckless human being ; and then multi pl y the difference several million times , in order to find out how much the nation loses annually by its neglect of edution . The saving of ten millions more than Mr . Cobden ever dreamed of , would not produce one twentieth of the beneficial results that would [ flow from a sound industrial and mental training of the whole population . Here is afield for exertion worthy of the noblest patriots ; one in which success would bo of the highest importance , and followed by neither alloy , destruction , nor misunderstanding .
Whether Mr . Cobden takes the position and the course wo have indicated or not , it is clear tliat the National Public School AsSOCia ,. tion will in future exercise great influence in any discussion that may take place in Parliament on the subject . Every one admitted that Mr . Fox introduced and advocated the question in a most able and conciliatory manner last session . But a man without a
party to back him , in the House of Commons is nobody ; unless , indeed , he be a lordling or a scion of some aristocratic house ; and then he finds a party ready made for him in the House . Hence it wasthat Mr . Fox ' sbillwas rejected by a tremendous majority , although the proposer was overwhelmed with compliments . If the Public School Association does its work properly there will be no more of such Bhilly anally , Members having the fear of

Believing , as we do most sincerel y , that every movement that has a tendency to jm prove the intellectual character and condition of the people , must , at the same time , neeas sarily tend to the triumph of Democracy y ' a shall cordially support any part y that hoiestlv and earnestly seeks to make Education gene . rally accessible to the masses ; without , at the same time , rendering it subservient to the in . terests of any church , sect , or party . This thg new National Association appears to do . Ia the words of Mr . Kay Shuttleworth , it " Beeks to promote Education for wise and just political ends . '' It will be useful
In bringing into strong relief not only the great politi cal objects which are dependent on the establishment of a system of national education , but also the princi ples of civiliiberty which provide for the protectiou of the mi nority , which develop © the principles of local rating , and in connexion with it require that the management of the school should be vested in the local committees of the trm , tees ; the administration of the funds raised in the hun . dred of a county in responsible bodies , who ivill ultimatel y provide that every man shall have an opportunity of so training his child that he shall be fitted by his exertions to raise himself to the exercise of the political franchise with advantage to the State . These are great and important objects , ffg may not feel inclined to wait until Sir Kav , Shuttleworth thinks the Association has
succeeded , in fitting the people to exercise the franchise advantageously ; but as every attempt to do that—so far as it succeeds-, cannot be otherwise than beneficial , we recog . nise the Association as a co-labourer in tha cause of the people , and most heartily bid it God speed !

MASTERS AND MEN . The master class and the working clas 3 take widely different views of all questions affecting labour . Placed in antagonistic positions by the false arrangements of society , they have looked at the question from opposite points of the compass , and hold theories of political economy , which have scarcely any two prin . ciples in common . It is rarely , indeed , th at the working man ' s theory gets utterance or audience among those who possess property
and , therefore , it is but little known . In the few cases where it is presented to them , it jg usually so carricatured or misrepresented , that it wears anything but an inviting aspect , Violence , spoliation , and plunder , are made to appear its principal characteristics , and the operatives are forthwith condemned as an nu « reasonable , unruly , discontented set of fellows , whom it is necessary , to keep in subjection by the strong hand . How systematically any knowledge of the real sentiments and opinions of the operatives is ignored by iuflii .
ential journals , may be judged of b y the conduct of the Morning Chronicle to the most honest , and decidedly the most talented of the " special correspondents" who contributed to its series of letters on " Labour and tha Poor . " The communications of Mr . HE . vur Mayhew , the metropolitan correspondent , were the most graphic and striking of the whole series , and formed by far the most valuable and faithful collection of social statistics ererbe « fore published in this country . It would appear , however , that he . was guilty of too much fidelity ; that forcibly and painfully impressed by the facts he witnessed and recorded , he made it his business to get at the real
immediate causes of the horrible misery , destitution , and prostitution , from which he lifted the veil . In doing this he was led to adopt the opinions of the working classes themselves , as to the origin of the evils under which they groan . Their opinions were not in conformity with the orthodox politico-economical creed professed by the conductors of the Morning Chronicle ' , and the consequence was , that a less informed and faithful , or a more compliant correspondent has been found to replace the intripid and ingenuous delineator of the real "Mysteries of London , " the exposer ofthe wickedness , and the tyranny practised by traders of all grades , in their haste to gro * rich .
We heard Mr . Mayhew address a meeting on Tuesday night in explanation of tho grievances to which the ballast heavers of tha port of London are subjected . In doing thii it was curious to find , that his actual experience ofthe' working man ' s life had thoroughly embued his mind with the same philosophy which we have . known to prevail among the industrial classes for the last twenty years . The only difference we could observe was , that the convictions having been impressed lately upon a mind possessed of great intellectual
power , they were expressed with a freshness and force that is not to be expected from those to whom such views are more familiar , or who possess lessmental strength and cultivation . In all other respects , his exposition of the detestable theory of buying in the cheapest and selling in the dearest market , and of tho wretched . consequences it entailed upon society , was such as would have given unmitigated satisfaction to any Socialist or Red Republican
whatever . , Being debarred from giving utterance to his honest opinions on theso subjects through the columns of a morning newspaper , he is about , we understand , to publish them in a separate illustrated periodical . But here again we are met by the evil results ofthe partial and lop-sided policy of the Tritonsof the Press . They aro afraid to put the whole truth—or tho whole falsehood , if you choose to call it so—before their readers . Their readers believe , that they
give them all the information they require , truthfully and honestl y , and seek no further . The workiHg classes have another and totally opposite literature ; and thus there grows up 5 great gulf between these two portions of the same community . Ignorance of the want ? , feelings , and sentiments of each other , g ive * rise to suspicion , dislike , and alienation . F ° " lico and standingarmiesarerequired to be kep t up by brute force , a system which has no foun * dation in mutuality of ri ghts and duties , or in that enlightened comprehension of tho actual position and sentiments of the various sections of tho body politic , which would make them all work cordiall y for the promotiou of thfl general ¦ well-being . '
The meeting at Wolverhampton— reported in the Northern Star' last week—was a grati ' fying exception to this unfortunate state « things . For the first time within our recoils tion tho capitalist and the operative caiue t ° * gether in the midst of a Trades' strike , to Jfflj cuss the questions which lie at the foundation of all such industrial revolts .
